Please Note: Paragraph 47 of the Settlement Agreement
requires that within 24 months of the effective date of this Agreement, the
County provide signage as necessary to comply with 28 C.F.R. § 35.163(b), after
having surveyed all facilities that are the subject of this Agreement for the
purpose of identifying those that have multiple entrances not all of which are
accessible.

In order to ensure that the following spaces and elements in
County facilities, for which alterations commenced after January 26, 1992, are
readily accessible to and usable by persons with disabilities, the County will
take the following actions:

1. Within 24
months of the effective date of this Agreement, the County will complete the
following modifications to the Brunswick-Glynn County Library:

a. Parking

i. The parking
lot, with a total of 42 spaces, has 2 spaces reserved for persons with
disabilities, both of which lack vertical signage. At all spaces designated as
reserved for persons with disabilities, provide vertical signs with the
International Symbol of Accessibility located such that they cannot be
obstructed by parked vehicles. At van accessible spaces, provide an additional
“Van-Accessible” sign located below the International Symbol of Accessibility.
Standards §§ 4.1.2(5), 4.1.6(1)(b), 4.6.4, 4.30.7(1).

ii. No van
accessible parking is provided. On the shortest accessible route to the
accessible entrance, provide 1 van accessible space a minimum of 96 inches
wide, served by access aisles at least 96 inches wide, with vertical signs with
the International Symbol of Accessibility located such that they cannot be
obstructed by parked vehicles, and with an additional “Van-Accessible” sign
located below the International Symbol of Accessibility. Standards §§
4.1.2(5)(b), 4.1.6(1)(b), 4.6, 4.30.7(1).

b. Accessible
Route. Both the front entrance ramp and the rear entrance ramp are
inaccessible with slopes that exceed 9% and with no 12 inch extensions at the
tops and bottoms of the handrails. Provide at least one accessible ramp that
is at least 36 inches wide with a slope not exceeding 8.33% and a cross slope
not exceeding 2%; with level landings at least as wide as the ramp and 60
inches long at the top and bottom of the ramp; with level landings measuring at
least 60 inches by 60 inches when the ramp changes direction; and edge
protection that is at least 2 inches high at the drop off sides. Provide
handrails that are between 1¼ inches and 1½ inches in diameter
such that the inside handrail is continuous and both handrails have a
continuous gripping surface along both sides of the ramp extending at least 12
inches beyond the top and bottom of the ramp parallel with the ground surface;
the handrails do not rotate within their fittings; and both handrails are
mounted between 34 inches and 38 inches above the ramp surface and 1½
inches from the wall, with ends rounded or returned smoothly to the floor,
wall, or post. Ensure that the ramp and approaches are designed so that water
will not accumulate on walking surfaces. At the other ramp, provide
directional signs indicating the location of the accessible ramp. Standards §§
4.1.2(1), 4.1.2(2), 4.1.6(1)(b), 4.3.8, 4.8.

least 36 inches wide and it has a section at least 36 inches wide and no more
than 36 inches above the finished floor. Standards §§ 8.3, 7.2(1).

at this location such that no objects with their bottom leading edges measuring
between 27 inches and 80 inches above the finished floor protrude more than 4
inches into walks, halls, corridors, passageways, or aisles. Free-standing
objects mounted on posts or pylons may overhang 12 inches maximum from 27
inches to 80 inches above the ground or finished floor. Providing a
cane-detectable barrier is an acceptable solution. Standards §§ 4.1.2(3),
